Easy Herbed Goat's Cheese Dip

Easy Herbed Goat's Cheese Dip

Looking for a last-minute keto appetizer? Creamy cheese dips are always a hit at a social occasion, and this one, packed with fresh herbs, is sure to impress!

It comes together in minutes yet makes an impressive starter. The herbs used below are my favorite combination, but feel free to experiment with other herbs to change up the flavour profile. If you don’t want to buy a variety of herbs, pick one main herb (eg parsley or dill), and add a teaspoon of dried herbs instead.
